On tap at the brewery, pours a translucent orange with some lacing, white head. Nose is OK, some honey and candy notes, tangerine, orange, some grass, a little yeast, something very faux in the nose. Flavor is tangerine candies, fake orange drink, soap, quite heavy on the herbs, honey, sweetened cereal. Finishes full bodied, bitter and a touch too sweet.

Flavor is nice, stouty without the sweetness and the body, malt, grains, toast, some light pepper. Finishes dry but light on the palate. Nicely done.

Super hazy and opaque bronze and copper body with almost a muddied brown glow and a nice two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of rich apricots, fruity malts, a lot of alcohol and a pungent hop note of nuts and earth. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong nutty and earthy flavours with some alcohol, grain, toffee, caramelised sugar and fruity finish. Aftertaste shows some of the alcohol burn along with a large malt backbone, some subdued yet noticeable fruit sweetness, a bit of grain and a nice bitterness from the hops, showing a decidedly European twist. Overall, a decent Imperial IPA from a local source that is very drinkable. But, as bad as the Washington local market is, this isn’t worth searching out. I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught at Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 26-January-2017 for US$5,00 sampled at the end of my driveway!
